This is an archive of past requests. Do not edit the contents of this page. If you wish to start a new request or revive an old one, please do so on the Resource Request page.
The first citation is a bit of a weird request. I can already preview the one time where The Moxy Show is mentioned on page 211. What I actually want is its reference. After the sentence where The Moxy Show is mentioned, there is a superscript "3" that indicates the third footnote of the chapter, pointing to a reference. However, said reference is located in a section of "Chapter Notes" that I cannot preview. If I can look at the reference, I might be able to continue my research.
The second citation is one already used in the article above. However, the link does not contain the full text. In fact, the link is dead, and the archived link requires one to purchase the source to read it. I feel like this article could have information about the show's premise and production.
The third citation is even more elusive. There is very little information about this particular issue of Animation Magazine, and it doesn't allow readers to preview it. The only reason why I want this source is because I am having a very difficult time finding sources about The Moxy Show's third and final iteration, The Moxy & Flea Show, which only had one episode, and the preview text from the search results says "The Moxy and Flea Show debuts on the USA Networks."
I have added an additional source I would like to see the full text. The last sentence of the abstract on ProQuest says, "Just so you know, Flea was added to the show at the request of kids who thought Moxy should have a sidekick." I am curious if the article expands on this considering how little information there is about Flea. Lazman321 (talk) 20:34, 20 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]
@Doc Taxon: So sorry, I do not know which article it's from other than the article might be about cable networks and is likely located on page 14. The quote I found you can see by searching on Google Books "the moxy and flea show" in quotes. To help with your search, the page does say the magazine was archived in the University of Michigan. Lazman321 (talk) 03:44, 26 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Lazman321, Google Books will frequently help out with information such as page and issue numbers. At the bottom of the Google Books page (in the classic view), click "Report an issue," then select "I have questions or feedback about books." Then ask which issue/article/page the language "the moxy and flea" is from. Let us know what they say. --Usernameunique (talk) 09:34, 27 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]
I am so sorry that I've taken so long to respond. I've been busy with school, activities, family, etc. I have to admit that currently, I don't feel inclined to do what you have suggested. I understand if you feel irritated for me wasting your time, but at the present moment, I am marking the request as resolved. If I ever feel like it, I may do what you have suggested and request the article with a fuller citation here. Lazman321 (talk) 04:23, 23 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Greetings, has someone access to "Ackermand, D., Riley, T. R., Finkenberger, B., & Schümann, T. (2003). Geology program South Sandwich Islands (Vindication Island). Berichte für Polarforschung."?
For Vindication Island
@Jo-Jo Eumerus: To be exact, the proper title is "Berichte zur Polar- und Meeresforschung" as of 2000 (ISSN1866-3192). I assume the source for your quotation is this, where the title is marked as "in press". However, in AWI's repository archive no such title is to be found, not in 2003 nor later, nor any similar title by the authors cited. Therefore it seems that this report may in fact have never been published. You may want to contact the Alfred-Wegener-Institut directly for confirmation.

Barbara D. Wheatley, "The Lasting Legacy of C.S. Lewis" in Edward Cantor (ed.) Multidisciplinary Round Table on Twentieth Century Children's Literature
For Susan Pevensie, which contains an extensive quotation from Wheatly but no other bibliographic info other than the above. Would like the publication year, page number, maybe even the publisher name, so the article has a full citation, and people have an easier time verifying the source and info. I've tried to find this source myself to no avail, alas. Thanks, Rotideypoc41352 (talk·contribs) 03:54, 8 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Rotideypoc41352, this looks like a hoax to me: I can't find anything on Google, WorldCat, the Internet Archive, etc. resembling such a book, or indeed any evidence "Barbara D. Wheatley" exists. Note this was added in 2019 by an IP with no other contributions. Unless there's something I'm missing, I'd suggest just removing the quote.

@Jo-Jo Eumerus: Regarding #2, I could be mistaken, but I think in its nearly 100 pages, the only mention of Huequi is on page 35: "Further south, at Buill in the Huequi Peninsula (42°15'S), a marine fauna consisting of well preserved Devonian trilobites and a coral has been reported from loose blocks by Biese (1953), Levi et al. (1966) and Fortey et al. (1992); according to these authors, these blocks most certainly come from nearby outcrops of black slates in which no fossils have yet been found." --Worldbruce (talk) 09:12, 17 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Hi, I'm looking for a copy or full transcript of a 1965 Evening Standard article which I believe is titled "IT'S THE GHOST OF LILLIE LANGTRY - AS QUEER THINGS HAPPEN IN HER OLD HOME". I am told the date of the article is April 2, 1965. One exact quote I've seen attributed several times to it is "Langtry's ghost appeared one day".
Evening Standard is part of the Newspapers.com collection, but I was unable to find a piece like that in the 2 April 1965 paper. Searches for Langtry in that year did not turn up the relevant article. Maybe there was a special that day? Firefangledfeathers (talk / contribs) 04:01, 4 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Yeah, I had tried and failed on Newspapers.com as well, which is why I came here for other sources. Apparently there are other archives available for the Evening Standard, and apparently it is also viewable on microfilm in libraries such as the British Library, St. Pancras, London. Softlavender (talk) 04:10, 4 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]
We have two editors that 'claim' to have read it: AnthonyCamp, who is a professional researcher, author, and genealogist (but may have erred in his recent recollection of its contents), and Inspector Colombo, who is a disruptive and combative newbie determined to disprove experienced editors and who claims to have read the library microfilm and posted the article contents on a now-archived talkpage. I would like to get a bona fide copy of the article to prove or disprove what each of those editors says, so the wiki article can be corrected if necessary. Softlavender (talk) 01:06, 5 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks SN; we're aware of the Times article; and the Evening Standard spelled Lillie's name right in the headline but wrong in the body copy of the article in question, as far as I can tell (if the newbie editor is to be believed). That's why the quote I suggested in my OP only includes her last name. Softlavender (talk) 05:15, 6 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Tom Cruise as Ethan Hunt: Virtuous Masculinity and Ageing Heroes in Geriaction Cinema
The book is a publised monograph about the Bojnard [ru] language, a Khorasani Turkic language from Iran. Perusing the googlebooks preview, I managed to find a reference for tale type "425", which is The Search for the Lost Husband. There are at least two tales of the sort, one ca. pp. 185-190 ("schlange" as husband), and another ca. 198/199ff ("Xojaxast" and "Mehrinigar"). I might need to see the summary first to better locate the pages.
Doc Taxon, according to the classification section, they are tales 11 and 12, which were grouped under the title "Vom Mädchen, das die Schlange heiratete" ("About [the] Girl who married the snake") KHR FolkMyth (talk) 00:21, 25 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Hello! I believe that this book contains an entire chapter on Kasper Blond, which is where the material will be used. If certainly contains material on him, so if there is no chapter under that title, a scan of any pages mentioning him would be excellent.

Any version of [Marquis] Who's Who that has "GOODSON, Kenneth" in it. I found a user-generated source with content taken from Marquis Who's Who, but no actual edition cited, and I'd like to verifiy some information from that entry.
For Draft:Kenneth E. Goodson... I know it's a long shot, but it seems as if Goodson would be in an edition of the book. (I tried all the versions I could find on archive.org, but none of them listed him). Could anyone find a book from the series that lists Ken?

I'm looking for a mention of the film The Pawnbroker in The Film Daily journal. I think this includes a detailed cast listing beyond what is available in the film credits.
Google books has a partial preview, but I can't see the exact issue this is from. I've included an image of the preview here for reference: https://imgur.com/a/5FHkxN9
Below this should be the text "singer Tony Lawrence", but I can't see it from the limited preview.
All I know is that it was published in 1965, but I can't see anything else from Google Books, and no library near me has issues from this year.
I'm sure you know this already @Jimmyjrg but try emailing the AFI archive, AMPAS library, and Paley library--one of them might be able to pull it for you. Good luck. jengod (talk) 00:51, 27 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Hey, could somebody with full access to Oxford Academic send me Ramphastidae — toucans, aracaris, toucanetsin Toucans, Barbets and Honeyguides: Ramphastidae, Capitonidae and Indicatoridae? The level of access that TWL provides isn't enough to access this book chapter. I currently need this to verify some information in Toco toucan, and plan to use for several other toucan/toucanet/aracari articles afterwords. Thanks, AryKun (talk) 13:37, 17 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]
I have access to BOW too, but the Plumage section is very poor in the Toco Toucan account. BOW omits a total length measurement, and our article (citing Short and Horne) has a broader range than the other sources I can currently access, so I just wanted to check that out before finishing up the Description section. AryKun (talk) 12:05, 18 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]
@AryKun: That chapter is more than 100 pages long - a substantial chunk of the book - and more than can reasonably be shared without violating copyright. Can you narrow your request to a single genus (choices are Aulacorhynchus, Selenidera, Andigena, Baillonius, Pteroglossus, or Rampliastos)? The last contains seven toucans, including Toco toucan, and is a more reasonable 25 pages or so. --Worldbruce (talk) 07:41, 22 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]
@AryKun: I don't have immediate access to the book. It may be possible to obtain it via inter-library loan, but there's a cost associated with that, so I'm not in a rush to do it while there's a decent chance someone else can get the material for you for free. --Worldbruce (talk) 05:08, 28 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]
The only thing you learn from Thieblemont (the only article not sent to you yet) is that this article discusses the type of Andean lavas, according to which Lautaro belongs to zone A.
